July the 20th marked our 3rd SL Wedding Anniversary and we shared the celebration with some lovely friends of ours. We had an Abba Tribute band play and they were terrific as we danced along to concert sound Abba songs. Georg set up a lovely pavillion for us to enjoy and we were spoilt with some lovely presents.

Lagu Indigo gave us a beautiful performance of her Angels and Lights show. I was once again enchanted by this beautiful show. Thankyou Lagu for your kind help in making it a magical evening.

Below you can see some pics.

What was once our Feed a smile event venue was turned into a romantic pavillion to celebrate the night.

We danced on and on and on

Lagu turned the pavillion into a mystical light show

Which in turn changed the top floor of our shop into a magical wonderland

Thankyou dear friends for helping us celebrate this special date with us. You truly are wonderful.

I just wanted to slip this in here as its been playing on my mind whether or not this would be a good direction to go along. I am thinking of doing a small corner in the store (somewhere :-)) with a few clubbing outfits. As we are predominantly a modest and realistic designer with a loyal customer base who come to us specifically for these looks we dont want to jeopardise that. Of course this will still be our mainstream look and design, the club wear is just a little side project I am interested in. The club wear shall be of classy style of course, just a little more daring. Anyone reading this, I would love your thoughts. You can either leave a comment below or IM me or notecard in world.

I wasn't going to post about this but sometimes it helps with the grieving process. I am shattered atm as my beloved pet dog of 15 years passed away with congestive heart failure nearly 3 days ago. Bridie was my baby and went everywhere with me on my travels, house moves, and in life. She was a gentle natured dog who loved nothing more than to be around people and being loved which she was, deeply. She loved her walks, the beach, her food and company and will be missed forever. Its heartbreaking to go through losing a loved one whether it be a pet or human and this is the first time I have had to go through this. We buried her in the back garden in a peaceful corner that she liked to lay in sometimes in the hotter weather. Something I found on the internet today is this...

When you're close to an animal, the mourning process is the same as it is when you lose a human companion. Don't let anyone tell you your grief isn't real or is somehow trivial because you lost a dog rather than a human friend.

The last summer with Bridie where she enjoyed "pool therapy" to ease her athritis and where we had the chance to have some quality time together.
